friday things

If you weren’t already excited about watching foxy Aaron Tveit play sort-of-creepy Danny Zuko in a musical about how a girl has to dress in a cat suit and start smoking to make it socially acceptable for her to date the boy she wants to date (he does, admittedly, try to change for her), then get excited because BOYZ II MEN ARE SINGING BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT.

I super enjoyed this piece about visiting the Jane Austen Centre, the confines of the world of Jane Austen, how Mr. Darcy has been absurdly misconstrued throughout pop culture and how all of Austen’s women characters are amazing amazing amazing pieces of literary perfection.
